AMD Advancing AI 2026: Ryzen AI Embedded X100, Kria AI Robotics Platform, and Robotics Partner Network

AMD announced its entry into physical AI at the Advancing AI 2026 event, unveiling the Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors, the Kria AI system-on-module and Robotics Developer Platform, and the AMD Robotics Partner Network. The company projects the physical AI silicon market will reach $200 billion by 2035, positioning its heterogeneous CPU, GPU, NPU, and FPGA portfolio to enhance robotics capabilities.

At the Advancing AI 2026 event, AMD announced its first entry into "physical AI," a category that covers robotics, industrial automation, and other real-time embedded systems. The company announced new embedded silicon, a turnkey robotics platform, and an open partner ecosystem. These announcements come as three interconnected components: the new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 Series processors, the Kria AI system-on-module and Robotics Developer Platform, and the AMD Robotics Partner Network. The Ryzen AI Embedded X100 series of processors are AMD's Strix Halo-class silicon, featuring Zen 5 CPU, RDNA 3.5 graphics, and XDNA 2 NPU. These processors are tuned for embedded and robotics applications. AMD projects that the physical AI silicon market will reach $200 billion by 2035 and is positioning its heterogeneous CPU, GPU, NPU, and FPGA portfolio to enhance robotics capabilities "from the robot body to the robot brain." The on-board FPGA can be used to implement low-latency, application-specific functions for mission-critical environments.
